Car Enduced Panic

Good afternoon Tabby. My name is Jojo. I have the exact same feelings. I have said some of the same things. The last PA that I had was about a week ago. We were driving over a bridge and one happened. Nothing seemed to help. I have see the anxiety get more intense and the panic get more prevalent from just thinking about having an attack. You're right, it seems to be ruining my life and making those around me miserable. Just yesterday, we had to cancel a cruise because of my PA, because I can't handle being in a situation where I can't get out of.

Hello

I have been dealing with panic attacks for years. Never really understood what caused them or how to handle them. They usually happen only when I'm driving. Lately, they started happening whenever I'm in a car and I'm sitting in traffic, doesn't matter who's driving. It's getting so bad that we had to cancel a cruise for this week because I was having anxiety over being on the cruise ship and not being able to get off. I've been on cruises before so I know what to expect, but this one triggered panic attacks for days.  The cars are the worst. I am avoiding places where I know that traffic is heavy and places where traffic lights are long. I've been doing this program for 3 weeks and have seen some improvement.
